spending was the reason that congress and president obama raised the debt ceiling by $2.1 trillion just a year and a half ago. now, in 2006, the junior senator from illinois, senator obama, came to the floor, made a very passionate and thoughtful statement here on the senate floor in opposition to raising the debt limit. many of the reasons that he gave then are relevant today. in fact, they are even more appropriate because the national debt is much, much higher. and we have a fiscal mess. it's instructive for my colleagues to hear the words straight from then-senator obama. he delivered these remarks on march 16, 2006. at that time the senate was debating raising the debt limit by $781 billion to a new limit then that seems very small today, about half what it is today, raising the limit of 2006 to $8.9 trillion. so i thought it would be worth for the president's benefit as well as our benefit to go over what then-senator, now-president obama had to say, and so i'm going to quote partially from his speech. and this is from 2006, dealing debate -- -- quote -- "the fact that we are here

which obama will show up for the state of the union and more importantly the spending battle ahead? here to help us make sense of it buzz feed contributor, blake zeff. you have been writing a lot about this. i guess what i'm trying to make sense of right now is where obama is sort of strategically on this. two summers ago during the debt ceiling talks, there was signals of the white house to raise the eligible age of medicare like two months ago signals ago cpi change is good and then paul ryan saying i don't think there's anything and going to accept the sequester, you know which touches defense and not the social safety net at all and that's it. have we entered a new face and medicare and medicaid off the table? what do you think? >> i wouldn't be so sure. you're right the president is all over the map on this and yesterday there's an interview with him in "the new republic" and might have been code words and wanted the talk about judicious reforms to medicare and mart changes to social security and how he's willing to buck what he called i think the ideological wing of the party.

and i think, what a bunch of crap. >> did obama say it was the republicans' fault? i saw that. >> i didn't see that. but these are the kinds of things, look at gdp. you can see why it fell. but then people go beyond that and ask it in some femetaphysic way. the dividend fell under pressure. but when you look at what was beyond the gdp components, we had a nice spice in consumer durables. some of that was people buying cars after the storm and so they're spending insurance company money. you had a light increase in inventory compared to the first quarter. that takes some of gdp away. you know you're not going to have that consumer spending for consierms going forward. you have declines in both exports and imports and that had a solid impact on gdp. but you have to be concerned about what's going to happen with exports and, of course, st weak imports. you have to be concerned about that being weak. they're not negative year over year yet, but the flows have slowed down and having declining exports and imports really a bad sign for the economy. i look at the things tha
